Praise for Surrender:

“Bawer is unquestionably correct, and that fact is quite simply terrifying.”

“An alarming, depressing, brilliant and remarkably courageous book. Bawer’s conclusion is bleak but uncompromising.”
—Martin Sieff, The Washington Times

“Sublimely literate and rational. . . . An immensely important and urgent book.”
—Booklist (starred review)
